Crochet: Bag - Other
I have always loved the Tunisian “Ten-stitch”-pattern: you usually use it to create blankets (I have crocheted one myself: https://www.etsy.com/hookloopsarah/listing/268589879/), but it is one of the most complicated patterns around, in my opinion! This is one of the reasons why I decided to write my own pattern and make it as simple and clear ...

And it is easier for you to crochet, not having to worry about sleeves, dec...

I created this romantic “Hearts” cowl some time ago, when I was experimenting with the tapestry technique and written motifs on crochet works.

As usual, the pattern is easy and totally adaptabl...
Crochet: Rug
I have always loved mandalas, especially crocheted ones: not only can you be creative with colour combinations, but you can also create beautifully textured, 3-dimensional pieces, which cannot be obtained on paper, for example. The crochet rug in this pattern is rather simple, yet I believe the colour combination I chose makes it particularly i...
